Eliza Dogood gave up on matrimony and sacrificed her future for her spoiled sister. She is sure her destiny is cast but fate has another plan in the form of her mate.

William Cope has found his mate when he had all but given up. Little does he know but there is something special about Eliza and it is not her beauty.

Biology may stand between William truly claiming Eliza but his love for his mate knows no limits. Time and destiny will move both their worlds in a way as to provide a place for them to have everything they ever wanted but had given up on.

Mastered by a Wolf is an outstanding novel of love and magic. I found all the characters tempting and wanted to read more about them to see where their lives should lead. The love between Eliza and William is a wildfire burning out of control -- a love every reader wants. I loved the storyline and the detailed writing of the era along with the imaginative powers that lend a magical quality to the entire love story. Belladonna Bordeaux offers the reader a haven for their greatest wishes and shows that even when we think we know our destiny, fate can step in and offer us another way.
